I agree with both of these conclusions.
But the conclusions bring up another question: If "overall" profit from M2 sales doesn't maximize profit for the corporation as a whole (as you seem to suggest), then why does BMW, knowing that, allow the M Division to build the M2? Why not, for example, junk the M2 and build more X1s?
Any ideas?
Something to think about during the remaining dull NFL football games.
